试论《红楼梦》的天命意识

On the Sense of Destiny in A Dream of Red Mansions

《红楼梦》具有鲜明的反封建意识和人本思想,但也有另一种与之不相契合的观念,即用佛道思想否定世俗社会,用命运观念解释人生,整部作品充满了浓重的悲剧意识和宿命思想。这种传承着中国传统文化的天命意识是不应该被忽略的。高鹗续写部分涉及较多算命术等中国命理文化,这是中国传统民俗文化的生动体现,值得关注和研究。

CAO Xue-qin used the ideology of Buddhism and Taoism to negate secular societies, and explained human life by the sense of destiny, which were not harmonious with the distinct sense of anti-feudalism and man-centered philosophy in his masterpiece A Dream of Red Mansions. The culture of fortune-telling techniques, also appeared in the part which was writen by GAO E, should be paid more attention to and stuied.
